Effective Communication And A Merry Heart

The following humorous, but meaningful story comes from the Montana Street bulletin, illustrating our need for effective communication as we interact with others (especially our spouses!):

While attending a marriage seminar dealing with effective communication, Tom and his wife, Grace, attentively listened to their instructor say:

It is essential that husbands and wives know each other’s likes and dislikes.

He then addressed the men in attendance:

Can you name your wife’s favorite flower?

Tom leaned over to Grace, touched her arm gently and whispered:

It’s Pillsbury, isn’t it?

Dear reader, “A merry heart does good, like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22).
